Career
Throughout his career, Noor Gabow has participated in several significant security missions both locally and internationally, which have contributed to his rise through the ranks.

His efforts in addressing these robbery issues greatly impacted his career, leading to his appointment as the Deputy Officer Commanding of the Gigiri Police Division (OCPD).

Following this, he was deployed to Bosnia, where he was responsible for training the police after years of civil war.
After completing this mission, he headed the UN Police Reforms Africa Desk in New York for seven years.
In September 2017, he became the Commandant of the Kenya Police College in Kiganjo and was later promoted to Deputy Inspector General of the Administration Police Service the following year.
One of Gabow’s notable contributions to the country was restoring order, which enabled the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati to announce the presidential results of the August 2022 General Election.
He is also credited for providing more training opportunities for female officers.
